The Toronto Student Transportation Group is an initiative between both the Toronto Catholic District School Board and the Toronto District School Board. Our goal is to ensure the health and safety of our students through various modes of transportation and to help families make informed decisions regarding their transportation choices when accessing education here in Toronto.

Potential School Bus Delays on Monday, March 31, 2025 - When there are high levels of driver absences (for a number of reasons, including illness, days of significance, etc.) school bus operators may be required to temporarily modify routes to ensure that there is coverage. As Monday may be observed as a religious holiday, there may be an increased number of driver absences resulting in delays. If possible, please inform your bus carrier should your child not be needing the bus that day. Please visit the Transportation Portal to access the contact information for your bus carrier. As always, parents/guardians/caregivers are encouraged to continue to monitor the Transportation Portal and the TSTG website for updates on delays.
Short but intense snowfall with gusting winds forecasted for Friday afternoon during afternoon dismissal. Afternoon buses will be impacted and delays are possible. Bus Operators will do their best to keep the transportation portal updated on delays. Stay safe
